<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">The main issue is the lack of stat caching. That is why I wrote my own module around scandir which includes the DirEntry objects for each path so that the consumer can also do stuff
with the cached stat info (like check if it is a file or directory). Often we won't need to call stat on the path at all, and if we do it will only be once.<br>
